Verdict
A moderate handicap with few in form. Knocknakilla is 0-20 but is best at this trip and found 7f too short the last twice. KUDBEGOOD (NAP) isn't the most consistent but has now won three times over the course and distance and is on a low enough mark to go in again. Hurricane Helen, four-times a winner in the UK, ran well in her first two starts for the in-form Denis Hogan but never looked like winning last week. Form Of Praise won over 7f here in March and has gradually been dropping to a winnable mark but it's almost two years since Well Suited completed a double here and he hasn't won since.
